Requirements modification for access to epinephrine in schools

SF 2690 modifies Minnesota's rules for school access to epinephrine auto-injectors (used for severe allergic reactions). It requires schools to develop individualized written health plans with parents and medical providers for students prescribed epinephrine, specifying whether the student can carry the device or needs it kept nearby during school hours. The bill clarifies that schools must have written parental and medical authorization annually and ensures staff can administer epinephrine per established protocols. This directly affects students with severe allergies, their families, and school staff responsible for health emergencies. The law also provides liability protection for schools acting in good faith to implement these procedures.
